Darrell Scott - Fiddler Jones lyrics

e earth gives us music, it’s there in your heart If you’re lucky you feel it in the end from the start You hear it, it hears you, you trust and obey Where’er it may lead you, you wont go astray It brought me a ddle, so ddle I do From the coal-camp to the sawmill, I’ve left many a tune I’ve played in the jailhouse on a prisoners last night We both cried like a baby til dawn’s early light All the pretty girls dancing, I still hear their skirts ey’re spinning and prancing with dandies and irts I play through the laughter, I play all alone ‘til it’s me and the horses, pack up and go home And the people all know me wherever I go ere’s Fiddler Jones, there goes Fiddler Jones I have forty acres, a mule and a plow I no more get started and one comes around For a picnic or wedding, we strike us a deal And i’m o in their wagon my plow in the eld I hear choirs and symphonies up in my head In the wind in the cornstalks, my heartbeat in bed In the river at midnight, the creak of a door In red-headed sammy tapping o toor-a-loor I’ve ddled for governers, I’ve ddled for slaves I’ve ddled at birthings, I’ve ddled on graves I’ve one thousand memories I’ll never forget One broken ddle, and not a single regret And the people all know me wherever I go ere’s ddler jones, there goes ddler jones And the people all know me wherever I go ere’s Fiddler Jones, there comes Fiddler Jones
